Reviewing and discussing books (mostly YA and children's), reading and writing from the perspective of a secondary English teacher, research student and writer. My research is on reading, YA and diversity, so I'm sure that will be reflected here too.

Welcome to the *Hearthfire!

I post once or twice a week, either on Wednesday or Monday and Friday:

Myth & Magic Mondays

Wordy Wednesdays

Fab Fiction Fridays

*This blog was originally entitled ‘Thoughts From the Hearthfire’, as I like the comfy, cosy, stories around the fire connotations, but it has drifted into something much more education-focused over the years. It’s still books, books and more books though, so do pull up a chair and get comfy!
